You want to work, Why?

It's funny. One of the first things I noticed upon waking up unemployed was how good I felt. I felt relaxed, I felt at peace, I actually felt happy. It's been about three weeks now and that feeling hasn't subsided. I get up earlier now than I did when I was working. I enjoy my day and look forward to the next. I've gone fishing more in the last three weeks than the rest of the year! I spend time with my wife. And most importantly, I'm starting to get caught up with my reading. Writing has been slow but will come in time I'm sure.

Sure there are the occasional moments of panic. How will we pay the bills? What about health insurance? But those thoughts are fleeting and seem to worry me less each day. I'm whittling down the "honey do" list and Linda hasn't kicked me out...yet.

So...tell me again...why do I want to work????
